-You will have to watch the video Tough Guise 2: Violence, Manhood, and American Culture (Abridged)

- This paper will need to be 3-4 pages in length, typed using 12 pt. font, and double spaced. Papers will need to be grammatically correct and use proper citations. Those with grammar errors that impede our ability to understand what is being said will have points docked. In addition, if you do not cite the information from which you base your arguments, you will have points docked. You will not need an introduction or a conclusion for this paper. Please just address the points listed below and clearly label the sections in your paper. Unlike the previous essay, this one will have 12 points designated for grammar, citations, length and general organization/readability. Keep this in mind as you write the essay.

-Section A (worth 22 points): What is gender socialization, what does it teach males and females, and how does it provide males and females with their own gender identity (hint: here you will need to address internalization)?

-Section B (worth 22 points): What are hegemonic masculinity and emphasized femininity? What is significant about these forms of gender (hint: address institutionalization and how they, as standards of femininity and masculinity, are used to evaluate performances of gender)?

-Section C (worth 22 points): Based upon the video, what is the “tough guise”? Explain the characteristics that define the “tough guise”. Is it hegemonic masculinity? Why or why not?

-Section D (worth 22 points): Why is the “tough guise” harmful to both men and women? Use examples from the video to illustrate your points.

-Make sure that you are adequately addressing everything that is being asked, and that you explaining what is being asked of you to explain. You cannot plagiarize, but you can use quotes with citations or paraphrase concepts from the book, the slides, or video and properly cite them in your paper. You do not need a bibliography at the end of your paper, and the sources used for it should only include slides, the book and the video.
